“Kady is AMAZING! She’s so sweet with my Bella and goes above and beyond for her! Her communication is unmatched and she’s a great teammate to have when it comes to your fur baby! I am forever thankful!”

About: I’ve had a dog my entire life. All Labrador retrievers which are not for the faint of heart. My current lab I got at 8 weeks old and I have done all her training myself with the help of classes and courses from several different local trainers. I love all dogs they are such lovers. I am an active person who loves hiking, walking and going to the beach with my pup on my days off 🤍 I work part time as a medical professional and want to help with doggy care on my days off. I understand that some owners love having pets but lead a busy life so I am here to help however I can! I have a fenced yard and a 2 yo Labrador to keep your dog busy as needed. I can crate your dog if crate trained and needed as well. Safety of your pet is my utmost concern!

About: I have several years of experience caring for animals and have been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to look after their pets. As an FFA member, I am comfortable working with many different types of animals and understand the responsibility that comes with proper animal care. I have owned and cared for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large breeds, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, exercising, administering basic care, or providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am dependable, patient, and treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for and spend quality time with your pets. I am available on weekdays in the early mornings and after 3:00 PM, making it easy to fit walks, drop-in visits, and pet care into my schedule. On weekends, I am available in the mornings and can provide attentive care, exercise, and playtime. I enjoy staying active and making sure pets get the attention, companionship, and enrichment they need while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large yard where dogs can run, play, and get plenty of exercise. Pets will never be left unattended in the backyard, and I always supervise outdoor time to ensure they remain safe. If a dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated for their routine, I can easily accommodate that. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and provide a safe, caring, and trustworthy environment where pets can feel comfortable and well cared for.
“Pauline was great- she was very patient getting to know my dog and working with my dog to feel comfortable! She shows up on time and gave my dog a great long walk! I recommend her!”

“Kiah was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and confident with dogs. She immediately established herself as the friendly Alpha and our dog Leo was happy to follow. She provided updates on when she picked up and completed the walk, as well as pictures of our dog. Thank you Kiah!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for my own dog, along with multiple cats throughout my life.

About: I have over 9 years of hands on experience caring for my own three dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of pet care, including feeding, grooming, exercise, and general health maintenance. Over the years, I’ve managed everything from daily walks and training routines to vet visits and special diets. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also dog sat for friends, looking after dogs of various breeds and sizes. My experience has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each dog's individual needs, making sure that they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule, which allows me to fully dedicate time and attention to pet care. This flexibility means I can easily accommodate your pet's specific routines, whether that includes early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening feedings. I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. I prioritize keeping your pets active, engaged, and comforted, and I’m available for both short visits and long stays. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I’m committed to giving each pet the time, energy, and affection they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their established routines to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while you're away. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, and any specific needs. Daily walks are done at the times your pets are used to, and I always try to make sure they get the right amount of exercise and playtime based on their energy levels and preferences. I also make sure to spend quality time with your pets whether that means playing fetch, or simply being present to keep them company. I understand how important consistency is with my own dogs, so I stick closely to your instructions, including any medication schedules, crate routines, or expectations. My goal is to make your pets feel as happy and secure as they do when you're home.
About: Loving Care in a Spacious Home — Your Dog’s Second Favorite Place! 🐾 Hi there! I work from home full-time, which means your pup will have constant companionship and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your furry friend will get all the focus and care they deserve. My home is spacious with a large yard that’s perfect for playtime and zoomies! Plus, we’re just a short walk from the local dog park for extra social fun and exercise. Whether your dog loves cuddles, long walks, or lounging in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. You can count on a calm, safe, and happy environment — where every tail wag is welcomed and every pup is family. ❤️ I work from home so I will give them constant attention and supervision throughout the day and the kids will make sure they get their energy out at night! I have a large yard to run around and play! No pets in the home for a more intimate experience and 4 happy kids to entertain them!
About: I believe that pets aren't just pets. They are one of us, making them a big part of our families. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. My cats are usually out of sight until they are hungry. We have dog gates to keep everyone safe. I have a large fenced yard and a daughter who loves animals. We are a very dog friendly family. Your dogs will be in a fun home environment and love you for letting them stay here. We also have chickens and ducks! However, they are locked up and inaccessible to the dogs. About this sitter: I am a 36 year old stay at home mom and wife. I have a 13 year old daughter. She loves animals and is very gentle. My husband and I own our home. We have a large fenced in yard. I can walk dogs, help to potty train, help with basic obedience, crate train, take to dog parks, even come and clean litter boxes and feed cats! My dogs are crate trained and sleep in their crates when we are not home. My dogs get to be on the couch and bed with us. We do not leave them outside when it is too hot or too cold, but they do love to lay in the sun. Pet care fits great with my schedule, as taking care of my family is my number one priority. Working a 9 to 5 job just doesn’t fit in with my daily life. Pet care is fun, unique, and never the same! I have a fenced backyard. I would never leave your pet outside unattended. If I’m at your home, I’ll play with your cats or dogs. I’ll gain their trust (not just clean litter boxes or pick up after them). I make sure to take lots of videos and pictures so you know they are happy and taken care of. Your pets are treated with respect and like my own when I care for them.

About: I’ve cared for animals for over 5 years, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small pets. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, cleaning enclosures, and administering oral or topical medications when needed. I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and provide attentive, reliable care so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience and respect as if they were my own! I’m a college student in the San Luis Obispo area and offer reliable dog walking and drop-in care for both dogs and cats! I’m generally available in SLO on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 11am, and in North County (Paso Robles, Templeton, and surrounding areas) on select weekdays with flexible daytime and early evening availability. I’m also available on weekends in North County. My schedule can vary slightly week to week, so I’m always happy to communicate and find times that work best for you and your pet! I focus on providing attentive, responsible care during drop-in visits and walks. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and routine instructions and make sure pets are secure before leaving. Clear communication and updates are always provided for peace of mind.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up on a ranch, I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals, including livestock. I’m responsible for overseeing the wellness and nutrition of every animal, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs. My experience also includes training and handling livestock, ensuring they are well-behaved and healthy. Whether it's managing animals’ care, training, or addressing specific needs, I’m comfortable working with animals of all types and ages I’m currently looking for part-time work and have a flexible schedule. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and can accommodate morning, evening, or overnight stays. I also ensure regular check-ups to stay on top of everything. When caring for pets in a client's home, my approach is always centered around the pet’s individual needs and comfort. I make sure the environment is safe, calm, and familiar, especially when they're away from their owners. I offer a variety of services depending on the pet’s requirements, such as daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and regular check-ups to ensure their wellness. For overnight stays, I maintain the same routine as at home, keeping things consistent so the pet feels at ease. I also offer special attention to senior pets or those with specific health needs, making sure they get the care and attention they deserve. Communication with the pet owner is key, so I send regular updates and pictures to keep them informed and reassured that their pet is in good hands.
